When it comes to painting a new area of your home, one question you may be asking yourself is- what type of paint should I be using? 


Magic Painting offers professional and fast cabinet painting services in Nashville and the surrounding Middle Tennessee areas. Painting your cabinets is a great way to change the overall look and feel of your home. Whether you are painting them because they are dull and need to be repainted the same or similar color, or you are looking to change the overall feel of the cabinets themselves, Magic Painting has you covered.


When it comes to choosing the right type of paint for your kitchen and bathroom cabinets, Magic Painting recommends semi-gloss, gloss, or a satin paint. In both the kitchen and in the bathroom, you are going to need a durable and long-lasting paint. Both of these areas are prone to experiencing high heat, steam, and they are heavily trafficked areas of your home.


While matte paint is a popular choice for wall paint and might be the first paint type you think of, it is not practical for areas such as the kitchen and bathroom. As previously mentioned, both the kitchen and the bathroom experience steam and heat against the cabinets, and this is not the best for matte paint.


Semi-gloss, gloss, and satin paints can handle extreme heat and steam, making them the best for kitchens and bathrooms. In addition to these paints being the most durable, they are also easier to clean than other types of paint. 


If you are looking to paint your kitchen or bathroom cabinets right in time for summer entertaining,
give Magic Painting a call!
